Description

CLI should check that any globally required variables (preference at root level in plugin.xml) have been provided before calling plugman.install on the platforms. Otherwise the plugin is added to the project but plugman fails to install to any platforms.

From the docs:

plugman checks that these required preferences are passed in. If not, it should warn the user how to pass the variable in and exit with a non-zero code.
